A monarch caterpillar is shown in 6 stages of shedding until the skin falls away and a chrysalis begins to take shape. The first stage happens after the caterpillar has fastened itself with silk to a branch and hangs in the shape of a J. Then the skin of the caterpillar slowly splits and moves upward until the crinkled skin drops off because of the wiggling movement of the caterpillar. What is left is a chrysalis which dries and shrinks a bit.

A monarch is sitting with a adult caterpillar on a milkweed plant. This is the only plant the monarch will lay eggs on and the caterpillar will eat. This shows a flowering milkweed in mid to late summer. I raised the caterpillar and the butterfly from eggs. I release the butterflies in the wild once their wings are dry and they can fly.
